Did no one else notice that certain year one exotics are getting left behind in the twitch stream? Not only are legendaries getting left behind, now some exotics are as well. What doesn't Bungie understand about choice and making my time spent playing this game irrelevant?
Edit: Not only that but we have to repurchase them and upgrade them again. So its a grind again for weapons we already ground for.
Edit 2: If you count the amount of exotic blueprints for year two and compare that number to year one exotics there are not enough year two blueprints to match year one. Signaling there are going to be guns left behind, or the fact that Bungie took existing exotics and put one new perk on them, claiming they added "new" exotics for the Taken King.
Edit 3: The exotics that WERE NOT available in year two on the twitch stream were Universal Remote, Ice Breaker, Ghorn, Super Good Advice, Hardlight, Mythoclast, Necrochasm, and PoE exotics.
Edit 4: At 9:05 the exotics are explained and it is said that SOME, NOT ALL, exotics will carry over to TTK. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MaaLjwuqe9A
Edit 5: The weekly update confirms that some year exotics will be left behind. https://www.bungie.net/en/News/News?aid=13414
Edit 6: If Bungie decides to leave Mythoclast, Nechrocasm, and PoE exotics behind there will be no point in doing any of those associated activities. Maybe do them once to experience the activity, but anything beyond experience is a waste of time since Guardians will gain NOTHING from doing those activities.
Edit 7: If Bungie decides to keep all year one legendaries and some year one exotics left behind that nullifies parts of Patch 2.0. What is the point of changing old guns if they aren't being brought forward? Oh wait. We have to modify this ENTIRE game for PvP.
Edit 8: Here is more proof some exotics are being left behind. http://planetdestiny.com/bungies-year-1-exotic-problem/
Edit 9: Bungie's words, not mine, "The last thing we wanted was for you to look at your favorite gun or helmet and decide that it had become obsolete. Since the reveal, we’ve read a lot of ideas for how this could have been done better. Your feedback is clear: The time you have invested in your stuff should be respected." Bungie Weekly Update 12/04/14.
Edit 10: Possible solution: make a new material for accession that is only available in TTK content that would allow you to upgrade your gear to year two standards. Keep etheric light so you could upgrade weapons to the maximum values for year one while progressing through year one or turn those left over etheric light into commendations. The possible solutions would not be hard to implement since Bungie already likes to recycle programs and add a couple new ornaments here and there.
Edit 11: To you recent players who bought the Ghorn from Xur, how does it feel to be trolled by Bungie since the Ghorn will be obsolete in TTK?
